STE offers special treatment for GMC Syclone

One of the most iconic models of the American brand was the GMC Syclone of 1991, a radical sports version based on the GMC Sonoma, which was manufactured in an exclusive limited edition this year, although in 1992 were mounted 3 additional copies. This mid-size pick-up rivaled many sports cars of the season thanks to its powerful 6-cylinder engine and a particularly chassis configuration oriented to asphalt. In addition, his aggressive and sporty aesthetics staged many headlines at the time.
General Motors' GMC division usually does not have many sporting versions of this type, either now or now, so that the 1991 Syclone is a very prominent chapter in the history of this brand and that the few manufactured copies have become authentic pieces of collector.
In the case of the model that appears in the images, this is a modified model that is inspired by the classic Syclone, although it is based on the current GMC Canyon, the GMC medium-sized pickup that uses the same platform and mechanics of the Chevrolet Colorado . So we can say that the donor vehicle is a type of successor far from the original model. This aggressive and sporty medium-sized pickup is the work of the specialists of the EVS (Specialty Vehicle Engineering), the same ones that are behind the spectacular modern Yenko Camaro and Yenko Corvette, that are manufactured under license Yenko.
A standard version of the GMC Canyon, powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine with a huge compressor, has been built as standard, as well as modifying the intake, cooling and exhaust systems, which can boost its power up to spectacular 461 hp. Numbers remarkably higher than those of the base Canyon and the original Syclone itself, whose supercharged 4.3-liter V6 developed 284 hp and 474 Nm.
In addition to the increase in horsepower, it is clear that EVS staff retook the suspension and added huge sidewalks with low profile tires clearly oriented to asphalt. The set is completed with a decoration totally in the black tone with some touches of red in the low parts and in the wheels. A combination very similar to the original Syclone, which had a very sporty body kit and a very low suspension scheme. If the classic model had a production of 2,998 units, the modern version of EVS will be even more exclusive, since in principle only 100 copies will be manufactured. Autonews
